Harold said angrily, âGrapie, youâve gone overboard! Are you trying to kill us by aggravating Mommy and Daddy? Lana is timid enough. What am I supposed to do if she doesnât dare to attend the family dinner anymore?!â
âYou donât actually care about me! You only care about Lana!â
âNo, thatâs not it!â
When George noticed his two childish siblings were about to get into a fight, he jumped in and stopped them.
âEnough. Stop quarreling.â He looked at Ninian and said, âMom is okay, but Dad was furious. Have you braced yourself?â
âYeah, right,â Ninian snorted. âI donât even know what heâs angry about. Heâs probably getting ready to make Brooklyn and Everettâs life difficult tomorrow. Iâll never let Everett feel any grievance! I did this to warn Daddy that if he mistreats my Everett, his precious daughter will leave him for someone else.â
George chuckled when he saw her throw a tantrum and acting willfully like a child.
âAlright, alright. Do you really think Mom and Dad donât know what youâre trying to prove? Theyâre the ones who sent me here to fetch you home, and to tell Everett thanks.â He shifted his gaze to Everett, âAfter all, in order to play along with your games, he tried his best to cover up for you.â
Everett felt a sense of relief when he heard this.
âI donât intend to lie to them. I just want to let the Winters family members know that Ninian is just fooling around, and thereâs no need to make a big fuss out of it. With that, she wonât get any harsh punishment.
âBut somehow, it indirectly makes them see how much I care about her.
âThat isnât a bad thing either.â
âAlright, take the script home and practice.â Everett patted her head and said, âIâll let the director arrange an audition for you once youâre ready.â
Zayn, who was behind him, curled his lips into a smile. when he heard this.
âAs always, heâs always doing things his way.
âDoes that mean that as long as Ninian isnât ready, the director is not allowed to start filming that drama series?â
âOkay, donât worry. Iâll be ready soon.â Ninian smiled and looked at Amber and Zayn. âMs. Ward, Mr.
Barnes, Iâll be heading back now, Thank you so much for the help!â
Amber and Zayn suddenly felt uneasy.
To have the princess of the Winters family address them so politely made them feel stressed.
Luckily, the Winters siblings were class acts. George and Harold nodded before leaving. Amber let out a sigh of relief, and Zayn relaxed his shoulders in silence.
Before Ninian followed after her brothers, she turned and blinked at Everett, signaling him âsee you tomorrowâ.
He smiled as he watched her leave.
âSir, youâre being more and more down to Earth.â Zayn, who was behind him, adjusted his spectacles.
He was smiling mockingly at him.
Everett turned and looked at him, smiling broadly, âShe saved me.â
Zayn had to admit that it was true.
Back then, Everett was unattainable and emotionally unstable. He would easily lose control of his emotions.
Ever since the biochip was removed, he started seeing a therapist, and in addition to Ninianâs influence, he had turned into a whole new person.
The outsiders might not notice his changes, but Zayn, who had been by his side for years, knew just how much he had changed.
That was why Zayn was able to joke around with him.
âArrange an appointment for me and Mr. Hamilton,â Everett said.
Jason Hamilton was the director of âTurncoatâ.
Zayn was not surprised by his request. âYou have an opening between eleven oâclock to three oâclock in the afternoon tomorrow after a photo shoot for the JIA magazine cover in the morning.â
âSet the appointment at that time, then.â
âOkay. Your dinner appointment with Mr. Stone, the producer tomorrow night, has been brought forward to tody. Itâs about time for you to get yourself ready for it.â
